Xbox 360 controller with xbox app in windows 10?

xFed0r4masteRx · Jul 22, 2015

I am getting windows 10 at the end of this month & very eager to play xbox one games on the PC, with a gaming controller.

I want to know if I would be able to use the xbox app with windows 10 and play xbox one games while using an xbox 360 controller, as I'm on a tight budget and can't afford to shell out for xbox one controllers right now.

Xbox360 controller keyboard software needed for windows 10.

Request 360 controller Software driver Windows 10.

Xbox 360 controller and chat pad support in windows 10 and Xbox app for win 10. Driver for keyboard, and mouse pointer from game pad to work in windows 10. Include Wired and Wireless drivers. Documentation, Software on / off Power switch super helpful. Check
box to turn on / off keyboard and mouse emulation.

I would like to use Windows 10 and the Xbox App to play games on the big screen TV. I have a home theater PC connected to the tv.

The Xbox 360 controller works on PC with Xbox App. The keyboard and headphones do not.

It would be most useful to have full windows support for the Xbox 360 controller keyboard.

I could browse the internet using 360 keyboard and Cortana with headset microphone.

I would like to type in Wordpad, and Edge web browser.

Full mouse and key board support.

Sell 360 pc controller dongle again, or verify if the new dongle stick works with 360 controller keyboard.

Support wired and wireless again in Windows 10.

Hi @xFed0r4masteRx

After connecting even downloading the drivers for the Xbox 360 controller. I can confirm that this will not work. Instead, try submitting your request to feedback.xbox.com for consideration.

No, the Xbox 360 SmartGlass app is not compatible with Windows 10. However, Microsoft has a newer app called Xbox app that works on Windows 10 and provides similar features such as remote control, streaming, and social features for Xbox One consoles.

Hi Nagwal98,

Thank you for the update. I believe the issue lies with using the Xbox One play and charge kit since I think it may only work properly with an Xbox One controller, not an Xbox 360 controller. This may be why the drivers did not install when you plugged it
in. This is just speculation that the cable is not compatible with an Xbox 360 controller, but I recommend going to the store and getting another micro USB cable and try again.

Even if the Xbox Accessories App for Windows 10 was available in your region, the app is not meant to configure an Xbox 360 controller since it's designed to manage devices for the Xbox One console. Windows 10 does have a controller calibration program to
manage your Xbox 360 controller when connected. There are a number of steps so I recommend reading over this article on

how to calibrate your gaming controller on Windows 10.

Hello LinconSilva,

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. We understand that your computer is not recognizing the Xbox 360 controller when you plug it in. We have a support article which provides information about

connecting a Xbox 360 controller to a Windows 10 computer. The most common solution in this situation is to make sure that

Windows 10 is up to date. Be sure to let us know the results!

How to set up an Xbox 360 Controller for Windows

Set up a wired controller on Windows 10

Follow these steps to install your Xbox 360 wired controller on Windows 10:

Plug the Xbox 360 controller into any USB 2.0 or 3.0 port on the computer.
Windows 10 will automatically install drivers for your controller, so you won't have to download or install software other than Windows 10 updates. Once you see the pop-up notification that the drivers have been installed, you can use your controller.
Open a game or the Xbox app and test your controller by pressing a button, pulling a trigger, or moving a stick on the controller.

Notes

If your Xbox 360 wired controller is not detected by your PC, try plugging it into a different USB port, and then test it again.
If your controller still does not work, check that Windows 10 is fully updated. Install any updates and then try again.
Refer to your game documentation for information about how to configure the Xbox 360 controller for a specific game

Yup. Xbox One controllers are built a bit poorly.

If it's convenient to you i'd recommend using an Xbox 360 controller on a Windows 10 PC and stream your console to the PC using the Xbox app.
